Good morning, skiers and riders! Diamond Peak is waking up to crisp mountain air at 19.2°F and stunning lake views, but Mother Nature has been holding back on snow this season. With a snowpack depth of just 6 inches—62.5% below the seasonal average—it’s a thinner base than usual. Despite this, the dedicated snowmaking and grooming teams have worked their magic to create smooth, rideable trails, ensuring a great day on the mountain. The Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) is currently 1.7, which reflects the ongoing dry conditions. No new snow is forecasted today, but pack your warm layers and sunglasses—it’s still a beautiful day to hit the slopes!
